CARDIFF-born Lee Fowler was shut out of the Millennium Stadium last night.

The former Bluebirds' player clinched promotion to the Second Division with the decisive kick in the penalty shootout and rushed outside the stadium to present his match shirt and winners medal to mum Allyson.

Staff then refused to let him back in.

Fowler eventually had to be picked up by the Huddersfield Town bus as they left the stadium for the long drive back to Yorkshire.

"The day meant so much to Lee and scoring the winning penalty made him so proud," said Allyson. "He rang to say he was coming out and arrived with his match shirt and medal.

"He had his club suit on, but when Lee went to go back into the stadium he was asked for a ticket.

"He didn't have one, but said `I've just played in the final and scored the winning goal.'

"The answer was a simple 'You can't come in without a ticket.'

"In the end he had to ring the gaffer (Peter Jackson) and get them to pick him up."
